SMOKER S SET.

Application filed July 25, 1925. Serial No. 46,028.

This invention relates toimprovements in smokers set, especially adapted for the comfort and convenience of the user.

An important object of the invention is to produce an article, to be hereinafter described. which may be readily-positioned on the dashboard of an automobile, in a smoking compartment in a railway car or may be positioned according to the desires of the user.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means for holding several articles needed by the smoker.

A further object resides in the production of pipe support or rest and means for firmly holding same in position in a manner to obviate dangers from accidental dislodgement or tilting of the bowl containing burning tobacco.

Still further objects will become apparent as the description proceeds and the unique combination of parts and the production of a neat and compact in arrangement set, truly artistic in appearance,-all of which assure its commercial success.

A structure constituting a preferred embodiment of our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specication, in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of our combination smokers set.

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof; and

Fig. 3 is an end elevation, the ash tray and package of matches being omitted for clearness.

Referring now in detail to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 designates the body portion of our improved smokers set, which is preferably formed from a single piece of material, such as wood or the like.

Extending forwardly from said body 5 is arranged a ledge 6, the top 7 thereof being stepped below the face or top 8 of the body 5. This construction is clearly shown in Fig. 3.

On reference to Fig. 2 it lwill be observed convenience to smokers, but in addition thereto specially adapted for location at any vposition readily accessible to the user. '1 0 this end we have provided lateral eXtensions 9 having a plurality of countersunk openings 10 therein for the reception of screws or .other means whereby the article may be properly-attached.

Continuing now with the detailed description we provide the top 8 with a plurality of apertures or openings 11 adapted to receive cigarettes, cigars, or the like, therein and due to the elevated positioning of said top S'with respect to the top of the ledge 6, no interference with articles placed on the ledge is encountered. This vis a feature of some importance.

Adjacent the rounded end portion of the ledge 6 and substantially conforming to said rounded end, for the sake of beauty of curves and ornamentation, we provide an aperture 12, and within same mount a small container 13, preferably of metal, which may be used as a depository for ashes, cigarette or cigar stumps, or the like. The container is made relatively deep, and is of sufficient size to accommodate the usual cigar stump so no projecting end rising above the top of said container to present an unsightly appearance.

Adjacent the aperture 12 is out a substantially transverse slot 14 of sutlicient depth and width to accommodate the commercially known paper of matches 15. As noted in Fig. 2, said slot 14 terminates at the step between the body 5 and ledge 6.

Perhaps the major feature of our invention is the formation of the groove 16, which is cored out longitudinally of the length of the article and as observed in Fig. 2, said cored portion is rounded at one end, from which point it tapers gradually to the extreme end of said article. Our purpose herein is to provide a groove adapted for the reception of a pipe and from practical eX- perience we have found that this type of groove conforms to practically all standard pipes on the market. The ledge adjacent the rounded portion issunk or cut away, as indicated at 18 forming a shoulder thereby, while the portion adjoining the groove is given a slight incline, as denoted at 19,

finally emerging at a point substantially equal in height to the top 7. The face of the ledge 6 is also tapered, as noted hereinbefore, substantially oonforiningto tlie'tapei of said groove 16.

On inspection of F ig. l, the formation of the bottom oi' saidgrooif'e 16, ivill be better understood and it Will be not-ed that said bottom is given a slight incline, as at 17, which Continues to a point,slightlyibelow the termination of side portions 19. In this ligure the pipe 2O is sh'oivii'in brol'enflines resting snugly with the groove and in order to lprevent ao'eidental dislodgement or tilting'ol said ipipe'th'ere is provided a spring clip 21 adapted to'e'ngagelthe stem of said pipe,v whereby 11o-danger may be feared from the spilling-gof 'burning tobacco.

We Claim: Y g An article 'of the IGlass clesoribed"ooHipr1sing a body portionlhaviiiglateralextensions .sui-'face YcoredY to .form a tapered rounded groove conforming substaiitiallytotlie bowl and stein of a pipe, the side of the ledge L'adjaoent the major diameter of said groove being cut-away to deline a shoulder and an l:outer 'edge rising upwardly and finally merging with the top of said ledge to presentl access :to Aremove t-.l'ie 'pipe and vineans ivithin said said pipe.
